2. Aims and Objectives of Action on Fuel Poverty
Overall aim:
To ensure progress towards the target to eradicate fuel poverty as far as is reasonably practicable by 2016.
3 Key Objectives:
1. To provide a comprehensive approach that addresses all three of the factors affecting fuel poverty: energy prices paid, income levels and energy efficiency investment.
2. To future proof housing stock against fuel poverty, by improving the energy efficiency of the stock and therefore reducing future energy use and contributing to carbon saving, as this will maximise the impact of other measures that affect fuel poverty.
3. To maximise the impact of Government and other funding, through synergy and coordination of funding streams.
